Yeah, this kind of obvious truth is troublesome. I have a closely related haiku (original context https://climatejustice.social/@kentpitman/113603713366583693):
borrowed from Nothing
we, and Time itself, pretend
we were here at all

Our fascination with computers is more deeply spiritual than utilitarian. When online, we break free from bodily existence, from our earthy existence, and emulate the viseo dei, the perspective of God, the "all-at-oneness" of divine knowledge.

I’m just saying. Maybe I die tonight and it’s okay. Maybe it’s not tragic. That’s what’s unknown.
Why are we so afraid of dying? I mean, if I die tonight, does it really matter?
Is it simply because death is a mystery? Or is it that we feel life is too precious to let go?
What if life is the worst, and death is precious?
I think it’s because even with all the suffering, we enjoy the experience. Sugar, love, music, sex, flowers, rain…maybe we’ll miss it. Or maybe our consciousness ends.
I know I’m not afraid to die.
"The true horror of existence is not the fear of death, but the fear of life. It is the fear of waking up each day to face the same struggles, the same disappointments, the same pain. It is the fear that nothing will ever change, that you are trapped in a cycle of suffering that you cannot escape. And in that fear, there is a desperation, a longing for something, anything, to break the monotony, to bring meaning to the endless repetition of days."
Albert Camus, The Fall

@lproven @theregister as much as I love the #freedom and #autonomy of #linux it's definitely a #purest #technically #adept approach to self #digitization
The majority of people I've worked with want nothing to do with knowing how anything works. They just want their computer to auto-load all their bents like #magic , be able to access anything on the #Network without getting permission and install any #app on their #device they choose.
#Government , #libraries especially, need to untether from #broZone #architecture and do things for themselves again.
I'm not a #statistician and only have #anecdotal #evidence to go by, but I don't see a whole lotta folks doing, or even wanting, to do things themselves. Let alone, pick up the #skills required to do so.
The worst part, the people actually willing and able to help, can't afford to, because it doesn't #pay well, enough.
So, we all have to figure out a way to fix "that" first. But, that would require everyone believing doing #work themselves is better for them and the #Earth in the long run rather than #automating each and every #human #interaction out of #existence

YouTube has decided to serve me up videos about #atheism today, and I don't think I'll ever really understand how it ever came to be that in a modern technological society, we are still being put into the position of being forced to justify #nonbelief in things for which there is no #evidence of #existence.
#OnusProbandi. The #BurdenOfProof of epistemological truth is upon the person who makes the assertion. Atheism asserts nothing, at all. "There is no $deity," is not an assertion of anything.
